Re: John Mosedale
Hello John , your camera likely has a highlights warning feature , this flashes red on the cameras screen when the image is viewed in playback . You can use the cameras compensation settings , or as I prefer use manual mode and just keep upping the shutter speed till the red flashing stops , or stop the aperture down depending which is more important . Hope that helps .

Re: John Mosedale
If you are not already doing so, shooting in Raw gives more latitude than jpeg.
Enabling Highlight Tone Priority can help.
I would use AEB and see which looks best. It may be that you can't get highlights and shadows both correct at any setting. Sometimes the range in the scene is just too much for the camera's dynamic range, which is why HDR is popular with some people.EOS 6D, 6D Mk II, 80D, 70D, 100D, 200D, M50, M100.
